[TR] fuel pump pipe fitting question

[wbeech]

I would use the compression fitting as it was designed.

Hi,

 

Just replaced my 3’s pump after many rebuilds...also want to replace the short length of pipe and hose and also the brass nut that threads into the pump since its been on and off a lot. I have several fittings and compression sleeves around, and I just picked up a foot of 5/16” pipe that has the 1/2” brass nut fitting with a flared end. Question, can I shove the flared end into the pump, or do I need cut that and use the compression fitting and nut? I’m assuming the flared end will flatten similar to the compression sleeve and seal ok, or not?  Thanks
